Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Note 1 Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Lawson Products, Inc. (the
Company) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information, the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.
Accordingly, they do not contain all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting
principles. Reference should be made to the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2009. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2010, the Condensed
Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2010
and 2009 and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the six-month periods ended
June 30, 2010 and 2009 are unaudited. In the opinion of the Company, all normal recurring
adjustments have been made, that are necessary to present fairly the results of operations for the
interim periods. Operating results for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2010 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2010.
There have been no material changes in our significant accounting policies during the six
months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the significant accounting policies described in our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. The Company has evaluated
subsequent events through July 28, 2010, the filing date of this Form 10-Q, and has determined that
there were no subsequent events to recognize or disclose in these financial statements.
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

Note 4 Loss (Gain) on Disposal of Property, Plant and Equipment
In the first half of 2010, the Company received cash proceeds of $2.0 million from the sale of
its Dallas, Texas distribution center, resulting in a gain of $1.7 million.
Note 5 Stock Based Compensation
During the second quarter of 2010 the Company issued 35,692 of restricted stock awards with a
vesting period of either one or three years. Each restricted stock award can be exchanged for the
Companys common stock on the vesting date. The Company issued 30,944 restricted stock units with a
vesting period of one year. Each restricted stock unit can be exchanged for either the Companys

The fair value of the outstanding SPRs was remeasured on June 30, 2010 using the Black-Scholes
valuation model. This model requires the input of the following subjective assumptions that may
have a significant impact on the fair value estimate:
|
|
|
Expected volatility |
|
51.1% to 92.2% |
Risk-free interest rate |
|
0.2% to 1.7% |
Expected remaining term (in years) |
|
0.2 to 4.7 |
Expected annual dividend |
|
$0.24 |
Compensation expense for outstanding stock based compensation of $0.5 million and $0.3 million
was recorded in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the second quarters of 2010 and
2009, respectively. The Company recorded stock based compensation expense of $0.2 million during
the first six months of 2010 and a stock based compensation benefit of $0.4 million during the
first six months of 2009.
Note 6 Income Tax Expense (Benefit)
Income tax as a percentage of pre-tax income (loss) for the three and six months ended June
30, 2010 was 43.1% and 46.4%, respectively, compared to 40.9% and 21.2% for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2009. The primary reason for the lower tax rate in the first half of 2009 was
due to state tax expense and non-deductible expenses, which reduced the effective tax rate on the
loss.
At June 30, 2010, the Company had $1.1 million in unrecognized tax benefits, the recognition
of which would have a favorable effect on the effective tax rate. Due to the uncertainty of both
timing and resolution of income tax examinations, the Company is unable to determine whether any
amounts included in the June 30, 2010 balance of unrecognized tax benefits represent tax positions
that could significantly change during the next twelve months. The Company recognizes interest and
penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense (benefit).

Note 8 Segment Reporting
The Companys operating units have been aggregated into two reportable segments: MRO and OEM.
The Companys MRO segment is a distributor of products and services to the industrial, commercial,
institutional, and governmental maintenance repair and operations marketplace. The Companys OEM
segment manufactures and distributes production and specialized component parts to the original
equipment marketplace. The Companys two reportable segments are distinguished by the nature of
products distributed and sold, types of customers and manner of servicing them. The Company
evaluates performance and allocates resources to reportable segments primarily based on operating
income.
The following table presents summary financial information for the Companys reportable
segments:

Net Sales
Net sales for the second quarter of 2010 increased 6.9% to $101.6 million, from $95.0 million
in the second quarter of 2009, primarily reflecting a stabilization of the economy and continued
growth with our strategic, governmental and automotive customers.
MRO net sales increased 5.2% in the second quarter of 2010, to $84.7 million from
$80.6 million in the prior year period. OEM net sales increased $2.4 million or 16.7% in the second
quarter of 2010, to $16.9 million from $14.5 million in the prior year period.
Gross Profit
Gross profit increased $2.8 million in the second quarter of 2010, to $58.6 million from
$55.9 million in the prior year period. The gross profit margin for the second quarter of 2010
decreased to 57.7%, 1.1 percentage points less than the 58.8% achieved in the second quarter of
2009 primarily due to a change in the sales mix which included a larger proportion of lower margin
OEM business compared to the prior year quarter along with a decline in the MRO gross margin
percentage as a result of customer mix.
10
MRO gross profit increased to $54.5 million from $53.2 million in the prior year period. MRO
gross profit as a percent of net sales decreased 1.7 percentage points to 64.3% for the second
quarter of 2010 from 66.0% in the second quarter of 2009. The decline was primarily driven by a
change in the customer mix including higher volume customers that return slightly lower margins as
a percentage of total sales.
OEM gross profit increased to $4.1 million in the second quarter of 2010 from $2.7 million in
the prior year period. Gross profit as a percent of net sales increased to 24.4% for the second
quarter of 2010, 6.0 percentage points higher than 18.4% achieved in the second quarter of 2009.
The improved margin was due primarily to renegotiating customer contracts to provide a higher rate
of return and not renewing contracts with low rates of return.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (SG&A)
SG&A expenses increased $1.2 million in the second quarter of 2010 to $54.1 million from $52.9
million in 2009, primarily due to expenses to support the increased sales. Additionally, the
Company incurred ERP implementation expenses of $0.6 million for the 2010 second quarter. SG&A as a
percent of net sales decreased 2.4 percentage points to 53.3% in the second quarter of 2010
compared to 55.7% in the second quarter of 2009 as we realized certain efficiencies from the
streamlining of our cost structure, including the closure of our Dallas and Charlotte distribution
centers in 2009.
Severance and Other Restructuring Charges (Benefits)
Severance expense was $1.2 million in the second quarter of 2010 compared to a $0.1 million
net benefit recorded in the second quarter of 2009. A realignment of some of our managerial
operating responsibilities during the second quarter of 2010 resulted in the elimination of certain
positions.
Gain on Disposal of Property, Plant and Equipment
In the second quarter of 2009, we received cash proceeds of $2.2 million from the sale of our
Charlotte, North Carolina distribution center, resulting in a gain of $0.4 million.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense of $1.3 million was recorded based on pre-tax income of $3.1 million for
the three months ended June 30, 2010, resulting in an effective tax rate of 43.1%. For the three
months ended June 30, 2009, we recorded income tax of $1.3 million based on pre-tax income of $3.2
million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 40.9%. The primary reason for the higher tax rate in
2010 was due to higher non-deductible expenses, which increased the effective tax rate.
Net Income
We reported net income of $1.7 million or $0.20 per share in the second quarter of 2010. The
2010 net income was driven by increased sales and cost savings initiatives offset by pre-tax $0.6
million expense related to our ERP implementation and $1.2 million related to severance costs. The
second quarter of 2009 net income of $1.8 million or $0.22 per share benefited from the $0.4
million gain on sale of the Charlotte distribution center.

Net Sales
Net sales for the first half of 2010 increased 1.2% to $196.7 million, from $194.4 million in
the first half of 2009. MRO net sales increased $1.0 million or 0.6% in the first half of 2010, to
$164.4 million from $163.4 million in the prior year period. OEM net sales increased $1.3 million
or 4.2% in the first six months of 2010, to $32.3 million from $31.0 million in the prior year
period.
Gross Profit
Gross profit increased $4.1 million in the first six months of 2010, to $114.1 million from
$110.0 million in the prior year period. Gross profit as a percent of net sales increased to 58.0%
in the first six months of 2010, 1.4 percentage points higher than the 56.6% achieved in the first
six months of 2009.
MRO gross profit increased to $106.3 million from $104.8 million in the prior year period. MRO
gross profit as a percent of net sales increased 0.6 percentage points to 64.7% for the first six
months of 2010 from 64.1% in the first six months of 2009.
OEM gross profit increased $2.6 million in the first half of 2010, to $7.9 million from
$5.3 million in the prior year period. Gross profit as a percent of net sales increased to 24.3%
for the first half of 2010, 7.3 percentage points higher than 17.0% achieved in the first half of
2009. The improved margin was due primarily to renegotiating customer contracts to provide a higher
rate of return and not renewing contracts with low rates of return.
12
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (SG&A)
SG&A expenses were $106.3 million or 54.0% of net sales and $109.6 million or 56.4% of net
sales for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. SG&A as a percent of net sales
improved 2.4 percentage points in the first half of 2010 compared to the first half of 2009 as we
realized certain efficiencies from the streamlining of our cost
structure, including the closure of our Dallas and Charlotte
distribution centers in 2009.
Severance and Other Restructuring Charges
Severance expense was $1.7 million and $5.9 million in the first half of 2010 and 2009,
respectively. A realignment of some of our managerial operating responsibilities during the first
half of 2010 resulted in the elimination of certain positions. During the first half of 2009,
primarily in response to the economic recession, we reduced the size
of our work force across the
organization by approximately 150 employees.
Loss (Gain) on Disposal of Property, Plant and Equipment
In the first half of 2010, we received cash proceeds of $2.0 million from the sale of our
Dallas, Texas distribution center, resulting in a gain of $1.7 million. In 2009, a $0.4 million
gain from the sale of the Companys Charlotte, North Carolina distribution center was offset by a
$0.4 million write-down in the value of equipment.
Income Tax Expense (Benefit)
Income tax expense of $3.6 million was recorded based on pre-tax income of $7.7 million for
the six months ended June 30, 2010, resulting in an effective tax rate of 46.4%. For the six months
ended June 30, 2009, the Company recorded $1.1 million income tax benefit, based on a pre-tax loss
from continuing operations of $5.1 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 21.2%. The
primary reason for the lower tax rate in 2009 was due to state income taxes and non-deductible
expenses, which reduced the effective tax rate on the loss.
Net Income
We reported net income of $4.0 million or $0.47 per share in the first six months of 2010.
The 2010 net income was driven by improved gross profit margins, a $1.7 million gain related to the
sale of the Dallas distribution center and cost savings initiatives. These items were offset by
pre-tax $0.6 million expense related to our ERP implementation and $1.7 million of severance costs.
The first six months of 2009 net loss of $4.1 million or $0.48 per share loss was partially driven
by $5.9 million of severance costs.
13
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash on hand was $8.6 million on June 30, 2010 compared to $8.8 million on December 31, 2009.
We borrowed $5.2 million on our revolving line of credit during the first six months of 2010
primarily to support an increase in working capital along with cash expended on our Enterprise
Resource Planning (ERP) system implementation.
Net cash used in continuing operations was $2.1 million for the first six months of 2010
compared to $16.6 million provided by continuing operations in the first six months of 2009.
Increased net income in the first half of 2010 was more than offset by an increase in working
capital. Accounts receivable increased $7.1 million as the increased sales had not yet been fully
realized in cash on June 30, 2010. Additionally, $1.4 million was invested to increase inventory
levels to support higher sales. Cash provided by operations in the first half of 2009 primarily
reflected a decrease in accounts receivable and lower inventory levels.
Cash flows from investing activities in the first six months of 2010 and 2009 benefited from
the receipt of $2.0 million and $2.2 million, respectively from the sale of our Dallas, Texas and
Charlotte, North Carolina distribution centers. Capital expenditures, including $2.8 million
related to the implementation of a new ERP system, were $3.6 million for the first six months of
2010 compared to $2.0 million in 2009. We anticipate that the total cost of the ERP implementation,
including both capital and expense, will range from $15 million to $20 million and will continue
through 2011.
Net cash provided by financing activities in the first six months of 2010 was $3.6 million
compared to cash used for financing activities of $9.9 million in the first six months of 2009. The
change was primarily due to a net borrowing on our revolving credit line of $5.2 million in the
first half of 2010 compared to a net payment of $7.7 million in the first six months of 2009. On
June 30, 2010, we had $5.2 million of borrowings outstanding on our revolving line of credit and
$1.4 million of outstanding letters of credit, leaving borrowing availability of $48.4 million
subject to the following covenant limitations.
At June 30, 2010 we were in compliance with all covenants related to our revolving line of
credit as detailed below:

We
believe that cash provided by future operations and our $55.0 million revolving line of credit
will be sufficient to fund our operating requirements, ERP implementation, capital improvements and
other commitments and obligations.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
There have been no material changes in market risk at June 30, 2010 from that reported in the
Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Under the supervision and with the participation of our senior management, including our Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of
the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e)
and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), as of the
end of the period covered by this report (the Evaluation Date). Based on this evaluation, our
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded as of the Evaluation Date that our
disclosure controls and procedures were effective such that (i) the information relating to Lawson,
including our consolidated subsidiaries, required to be disclosed in our SEC reports is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and
(ii) include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information
required to be disclosed is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding
required disclosure.
There was no change in the Companys internal control over financial reporting during the
quarter ended June 30, 2010 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially
affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
